Have you ever wondered how different the D-Day forecast would have been if Group Captain James Stagg had access to modern meteorological technology? Read www.rmets.org/sites/defaul... to find out whether, more than 80 years later, modern meteorology would have led to a different conclusion.

Aerosols can influence clouds, precipitation, sunlight and climate. A special class of these particles – ice-nucleating particles – can trigger ice formation in clouds and may play an important role in climate feedbacks. Explore the science in our 3-part masterclass series: www.rmets.org/events/all

Why doesn’t 30°C always feel like 30°C? It might feel pleasantly warm in a light breeze one day, but on a different day the same temperature can feel oppressive, sticky and exhausting. That’s because air temperature doesn’t tell the whole story. Read more: www.rmets.org/metmatters/h...

⭐ We’re proud to see two exceptional Met Office colleagues recognised in this year’s @rmets.org Awards! These awards celebrate a breadth of work across the meteorological community, recognising excellence in research, education, communication and professional practice. Find out more below👇
"I'm delighted to receive the L F Richardson Award. It means a great deal to have work in applied science and user-focused meteorology recognised, as I am very passionate about translating scientific advances into practical applications that deliver real-world value. I am very grateful for the support of my colleagues across the Met Office, whose expertise and encouragement have been invaluable."
Alice Lake
Post-Processing Senior Scientist"I am deeply honoured to receive the FitzRoy Award for Professional Meteorology. Enabling sustained access to satellite observations includes enormous collaboration and support from so many colleagues in the Met Office, across the UK space community and internationally. To have that collective effort recognised means a great deal to me and I hope it shows that there are many valuable ways to contribute to our field."
